new laptop not connecting to internet automatically

[mark]

I bought a new dell e5530 laptop. It does not automatically connect to my home network. I have to open the available wireless network and type in the password even though it has a check mark in the connect automatically option. All my other laptops connect without a problem.

Step one: Try removing that connection and re-establishing it.

 

A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people -- people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book. - E.B. White

I'm not sure how to do that. When I go to network and internet > manage wireless networks, there aren't any wireless networks listed. When I try to add a network and type in the ssid, type of security, and password, a message box appears saying access denied.

Sounds like you have the wrong SSID or password.

Have you tried using WPS?

Maybe I'm not explaining correctly what is happening. After the laptop boots, the wireless icon in the system tray has a triangle over the bars. When I click on it to view available wireless netwoorks, it finds available networks. When I click on the network I want to access and click on the connect box, I then need to input the password even though the connect automatically box is checked. This just started in the last week or so. all works ok until the next boot and I need to input the password again.

Have you Googled this and tried any of the common suggestions?

Thanks for the links. Looks like I didn't have permissions in the profile folder in wlnsvc folder. I "took ownership" and the computer automatically connnects when I start it. Just don't know what would have caused me to lose permissions in that folder.

Random folder permission changes have happened to me as well. Never figured out what causes it.
